Jerry, Lucky you! RG-177/U is good stuff. It has double, silver-plated shields and a solid copper center conductor. Its attenuation is about 2.8 dB per 100 feet at 440 MHz, and about 1.1 dB per 100 feet at 2m. Finding constant-impedance connectors for RG-177/U cable might be a bit difficult. Go here for the Military Spec Sheet:

Would anyone know impedance ,and if it can be used for repeater usage? Tks,Jerry
